Psalm 72:1-20, The Holy Bible


King David prayed:

"Endow the King with Your justice, O God, the royal Son with Your righteousness.

He will judge Your people in righteousness, Your afflicted ones with justice.


*

The mountains will bring prosperity to the people, the hills the fruit of righteousness.

He will defend the afflicted among the people and save the children of the needy; He will crush the oppressor.

He will endure as long as the sun, as long as the moon, through all generations.

He will be like rain falling on a mown field, like showers watering the earth.

In His days the righteous will flourish; prosperity will abound till the moon is no more.

He will rule from sea to sea and from the River to the ends of the earth.

The desert tribes will bow before Him and His enemies will lick the dust.

The kings of Tarshish and of distant shores will bring tribute to Him; the kings of Sheba and Seba will present Him gifts.

All kings will bow down to Him and all nations will serve Him.

For He will deliver the needy who cry out, the afflicted who have no one to help.

He will rescue them from oppression and violence, and precious is their blood in His sight.

*

Long May He Live!

*

May gold from Sheba be given Him.

May people ever pray for Him and bless Him all day long.

*

Let grain abound thoughout the land; on the tops of the hills may it sway.

Let its fruit flourish like Lebanon; let it thrive like the grass of the field.

*

May His name endure forever; may it continue as long as the sun.

*

All nations will be blessed through Him, and they will call Him blessed.
*

Praise be to the LORD God, the God of Israel, Who alone does marvelous deeds.

Praise be to His glorious name forever; may the whole earth be filled with His glory!Amen and Amen.

*
This concludes the prayers of David son of Jesse."

HALLELUJAH to the KING of Kings!

Praying in agreement with King David,
One Nation Under God, the God of the Holy Bible,
the One Who WAS, and IS, and IS TO COME,
Whose WORD Will NOT Return to Him Void!
Accept NO Counterfeits from anybody!!!
AMEN!


The Apostle Paul wrote under the inspiration of God's Holy Spirit, Philippians 2 and reminds us all,
"If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from His love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, have the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interest, but also to the interests of others. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made Himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to death---even death on a cross. Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

Amen.
